Hi All, the following are the two replies to a mail under discussion. I couldn't help saying something about the replies & so, here it is.

What is wrong with asking you to do a bit of homework? You want to get things working, then try and get it to work. None of here are here to spoon feed you. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is agreeable that the original mail from A G was quite agressive. But let me remind all, that his "anger" might have been sparked by some previous replies to one of his mails regarding the distro he was using. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About the above reply today: If everyone could try & get things to work, there was no need for LUGs all over the world. People come to this mailing list becuse they need help with things that they are new (or renew :-) )to. There is absolutely no reason why someone should spark off a battle of words just because someone is less adept at some things than them. Please avoid these mistakes, which create unnecessary hard feelings in a community such as this. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Thu, 21 Oct 2004 18:01:39 +0530, Vishal Rao <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Thu, 21 Oct 2004 04:43:42 +0100 (BST), A G <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Can anyone help me?

They do it by their own free will. I believe that we are originally trying to start the flow the other way round. With 94% of the world's PCs running Windows, I don't see how we can afford to lose even a single user. I repeat, people come to the list to get some help learning something that they're trying but don't have enough support to. And groups like LUGs are here to help them and spread it further. It is simply not proper for people like us to be anything less than patient & polite. Spreading this new word needs help from people who know it & replies like this are certainly not helping. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please stop doing these things and let us take it further, rather than making progress more difficult. I believe that better sense will prevail & hope that no one will take this as a personal assault.
